lyrics

I drive on past
The reservoir
My brother loaned me
His beat up car

I’m feelin’ free
No one around
Drivin’ away
From my hometown

From my hometown
From my hometown

Nobody here
Is judgin’ me
A roadside bar
Big screen TV

Same football game
The same touchdown
Two counties over
From my hometown

From my hometown
From my hometown

I stay because there’s voices in my head
They keep repeating every stupid thing
I wish I’d never said
And though I know I’ll get by somehow
Livin’ day by day
It’s too late now to stumble on
The perfect words to say

Play “Born To Run”
Romantic song
A couple whiskeys
My problem’s gone

Over the jukebox
Can’t hear the sound
Of a broken promise
In my hometown

In my hometown
In my hometown

I stay because there’s voices in my head
They keep repeating every stupid thing
I wish I’d never said
And though I know I’ll get by somehow
Livin’ day by day
It’s too late now to stumble on
The perfect words to say

Now one day soon
I’ll leave for good
For New York CIty
Or Hollywood

They’re in my rear view
Just turned around
I’m drivin’ back in
To my hometown

I stay because there’s voices in my head
They keep repeating every stupid thing
I wish I’d never said
And though I know I’ll get by somehow
Livin’ day by day
It’s too late now to stumble on
The perfect words to say

I stay because there’s voices in my head
They keep repeating every stupid thing
I wish I’d never said
Drivin’ away is just a slower
Way for me to drown
It’s too late now for me to drive away
From my hometown
